Casside
The cassides are Insecte S of form ovoid or round which often gives to the insect the appearance of a tortoise. This is why the caside is called also coleopter-tortoise . The head is generally hidden. Some S resemble the ladybird S. Of others are very coloured and their carapace can take a coloring gold or money, but these colors disappear when the insect is frightened and after its death; it then takes a mottled dull red color of black.
The subfamily of the Cassidinae was created by James Francis Stephens (1762-1833) in 1831.
